what do they do? nothing. waste energy and time, give those who want to escape reality a glimmer of hope, cause problems for those of us that actually practice the craft
Vamps are real in a way, not that they go out @ night a bite and kill ppl, but there are ppl who A. Dink Blood to stay alive and B. There are ppl who suck your energy and mke you feel weak.
Also there's Demons that do almost the same thing, there called an "Incubus" (male) or an "succubus" (female) they also have sex with you, there bad news...
Nope, and if you had to ask you can't afford it. There is such a thing as Sanguinarians. Look up the Tyra Banks show, on the vampire culture. Vampires were and are still myth, but Sanguinarians are "new-age." They just came out of nowhere; I can't believe it. I know right?
I don't know where the whole mythical creatures idea came from, but they're simply not real. I don't have any idea how they are not real, but they are not real. Redundant, I know, but not real.
Any beginner, novice, intermediate, knowledgeable or adept heathen or ceremonial magician knows this instinctual fact. Yeah, if these things exist they would be in our history books and in reports all over the news. I know, because I payed attention in history class and I watch the news.
Memorization, hypnotization, astral bodies, esp, witchcraft, divination and all of the craft is questionable. I am into the craft for fun, though. What can I say, I like adventure. Lol!
If there is anything real, it is the Theory of Evolution. Darwin and his study of the great number of the 13 finches. If it can't be explained, then it is not real. And if you can't follow social norms, then you're a fluff. In the scientific community, we call these people, quacks. Even though Tesla was ahead of his time, as some quacks would argue, Tesla was and is still considered a quack.
Gnomes, faeries, werewolves/moonwalkers/moonbeasts, vampires, vampyers/fallen angels, vampire hunters, aliens, wicked-witches, ghouls and mermaids are like the alpha and omega of fluffiness.
One last short, unexplainable, answer. . . Mythical creatures are not real.
I would suggest if you had to ask a question like that, I would start out studying the craft, away from outside influences and opinions, just so you can see and experience things first hand. But I highly urge new spell casters to check out the online store here.
